Mr. Chauncey NJ. Depew. president of
the New York Central railway system, has
made very sensible uttteramce concerning
the smaller colleges. He says that it is
often the fact that they afford better facili-
ties to students than are enjoyed in the
great universities. This is quite true. In
the larger institutions. with their great en-
dowmemts. there are learned professors and
a great many branches taught, but the str
dent is turned over to tutors and his indi-
viduaIity is lost in the great crowd IN at
tendance. But in the smaller colleges the
professors have time to devote to each and
all of the students and they receive greater
attention and are afforded better facilities
for getting on in their work. 4 Springfield
